LOOK BETTER, MOVE BETTER, FEEL BETTER, GET STRONGER, AND BECOME UNBREAKABLE

Stop doing programs that give you one benefit at the cost of everything else that matters to you, and start a program that builds everything you want.

90% of the fitness industry focuses on the outward appearance of fitness. If you have low body fat and some decent muscle, you’ll make an awesome before and after picture, even if it’s something that’s entirely unsustainable and you feel terrible. Aches and pains are considered the cost of doing business when it comes to fitness, and some wear it like a badge of honour.

LOOK HOT NAKED or IMPROVE ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

If you want to become an absolute stud in terms of how much weight you move or how fast you get, you usually aren’t going to stop traffic with your six pack. Likewise, if your main goal is aesthetics, you’ll probably not become a speed demon who moves like an undercover ninja. You typically have to pick one or the other and deal with the results you get.

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY

What if you could lose weight, gain muscle, and not sacrifice your ability to move pain-free? What if the program you used actually helped you to move better, feel better, AND look better all at the same time? I may not know you, but I know what you’re going through. Likely you’ve hit a plateau with your training where you’re not getting any stronger, losing more body fat, muscle growth has stalled, and you’re finding it hard to feel like you’re in good enough shape. There’s likely also a couple of small aches and pains, not to the point of being injuries, or maybe they are, and they’re getting in the way of you doing the best workouts you possibly can.

THIS SHOULD STOP NOW

Your workout should get you closer to your goals, make you feel like you’re in better control of your body, and also have you moving better than you did before. If your current program isn’t doing this for you,

YOU NEED A NEW WORKOUT PROGRAM

As featured in

featured-logos

I’ve worked as a personal trainer for over a decade, and in that time I’ve had the opportunity to work with the following:

  • Olympic caliber athletes.
  • Professional athletes
  • National sports teams and organizations
  • Spinal rehab clients recovering from injuries, surgeries, and long standing issues
  • “Weekend warriors” looking to get the most out of their passions without feeling like they got ran over by a truck every week
  • Medical management clients
  • Average Joes and Janes looking to stay healthy

A common theme with all of them is they wanted to feel good, move well, and look hot with or without their clothes on. I’ve gone through the same thing. I’ve personally done programs focused on:

  • bodybuilding
  • powerlifting
  • “functional” training
  • speed work, sport performance, and everything in between

Whether these programs delivered great success or failure, I found myself feeling beat up and worn down by them. When I would use these techniques with my clients, they found the same thing. Some would add 100-200 pounds to their deadlift, but then complain of low grade low back pain, or sore achy shoulders that didn’t go overhead as well as before.

When I started blending elements of different programs together, I still saw similar results when I was focusing entirely on one element or another, but also didn’t feel like I’d been hit by a truck every week, and didn’t need to spend as much time doing active recovery on my non-training days. My clients found the same thing:

“They moved better, built more strength, felt powerful in their daily activities, and loved every second of their training.”

I like hanging out with people who make me feel dumb. Dean Somerset is one such person. This isn’t to insinuate, however that he’s some uppity strength coach who thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room – on the contrary, Dean is one of the most humble, down-to-earth people I know.

Most training programs promise a lot in a very short time. When they don’t deliver on the promises, people will look elsewhere. Kick program-hopping in the face with a program that continuously makes you feel better and gets the results you wanted, plus some you didn’t know you needed.

Everyone knows fitness isn’t developed within a couple of weeks, but over the span of years of dedication and consistency. It’s the guy (and girl) who are in the gym every week, month after month, who see the best results and biggest health benefits, not the one who hits it incredibly hard for a month or 3 and then falls off the face of the earth. 12 weeks only gives you the very earliest physiological adaptations to see progress.

Most red blood cells have a life span of 120 days, meaning to see meaningful physiological changes in how your body utilizes and transports oxygen, you’ll have to train consistently for 3-4 months. That’s just to see the start of oxygen transport improvements. Your mitochondria, the cellular powerhouses that use oxygen along with carbs and fats to make energy to workout, can see upticks in their development following a single session of cardio activity, but to see meaningful increases in mitochondrial density (how much oxygen can be used and how much cellular energy can be produced) the timeline seems to be more around 16-20 weeks of consistent effort.

What does this mean? Your 30 day challenges are useless and a waste of time if you’re looking for meaningful and sustainable changes in how you look, move, feel and perform.

To see increases in muscle accretion (what muscle growth is technically called to physiologists) it would take at least a month to observe in lab settings, and a minimum of 3-6 months to show a visible difference in muscle size not chalked up to carb or water balance changes or other nutritional status changes.

As a result of these features of physiology, using a 12 week program is good, but usually needs a lot more time to see the kind of results people want in a program. It’s a convenient calendar to match to a season, a business quarter, or to a semester in school, but doesn’t technically match your physiological demands to see the results you’re after.

Additionally, most programs try to cram as much into that short timeframe as possible, meaning people leave the gym feeling crushed and wind up dropping out after only a few weeks.

Dean is one of my go to guys in when I need help finding exercises for my patients with orthopedic issues. His biomechanics/kinesiology knowledge is top notch.

That’s why I made it my mission to create something better.

I wanted to make a program that would address these key features:

adaptable

Programming as individual as possible and adaptable to each individuals specific training environmental and schedule.

Long enough to get the results and consistency that would make training a part of their life, not just a component for a few weeks.

Make people look great, move great, and feel great.

THAT’S WHY I CREATED HIGH TENSILE STRENGTH TRAINING

ht-strength-big

Tensile strength is a quality of a material that allows it to handle forces applied to it without bending or breaking. Essentially, the higher the tensile strength, the more stress the material can handle.

With High Tensile Strength, the goal is to increase what you can do, in all directions and outcomes, and handle those stressors without failing. This means making you strong, stable, flexible, powerful, while increasing your cardio capability, work output, and movement competency, all while making you look more athletic, trim and powerful than ever before.

A very unique aspect of High Tensile Strength is the semi-custom program generator. Remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books from our childhood? Where you turn the page to a specific choice to progress the story in the direction of your choosing? Imagine having complete control of how, when, where, and how often your program is developed to maximize your abilities, minimize your weaknesses, while also letting you train as hard as possible.

This program gives you the ability to choose your own outcomes by customizing the workouts to your specific situations in this easy to follow system:

ipadt-ht
step1-choose-movement

preferences (extension vs. flexion, high mobility vs. low mobility) with a simple self assessment

build muscle or burn fat

commercial facility or minimal equipment home gym

2, 3, or 4 days per week

Exercise glossary with each exercise offering a coaching video, as well as an easier version and harder version for each. Over 400 exercises to choose from!!

Once you’ve drilled down to the specific program you want and need, just show up and follow along with the workouts and how they’re laid out.

Dean Somerset is a movement genius. What does that mean? He is the opposite of why most people become frustrated with fitness. He will make you better and remove your pain–all while helping you see more results. It’s what the best coaches know how to do, and Dean is part of an elite group.

High Tensile Strength incorporates training methods from bodybuilding, powerlifting, martial arts, gymnastics, yoga, pilates, and endurance sports, all to build a hybrid program that accomplishes a lot in a very simplified manner.

The program length is 6 months, meaning you have a ton of time to see the results you’re looking for and build the consistency in the gym to make it a part of your life. The 6 months is broken into 2 phases, each 3 months in length, allowing for progressions on the program to build off previous months and to accomplish even more than a single 3 or 4 month program.

If 6 months sounds like a big commitment to make, just think about the last 6 months and how quickly they’ve flown by. Then think about the 6 months prior to that and how much of a blur they were. I’m going to help you along the way, too. Each week I’ll send you email updates, motivational concepts, helpful tips to get more from the workouts and life in general, and help keep you on track.

There’s 48 different customizable tracks to choose from, each 6 months in length. This means there’s 288 MONTHS OF WORKOUT PROGRAMMING INCLUDED IN THIS PRODUCT!! This gives you over 20 YEARS of programming if you wanted to go through every single workout. With the progressions and regressions for each exercise, this means there are limitless possibilities to your workout variety.

NUTRITION PLANNING TO CAPITALIZE ON YOUR WORKOUTS LIKE NEVER BEFORE

The workouts are awesome, without a doubt, but focusing on the exercise and not including info on nutrition will only help you get the very bare basic benefits of any program. That’s why I recruited Karol Sekulic, Registered Dietician and Precision Nutrition certified coach to help outline a nutritional strategy and plan of action to help you get the absolute best benefit possible. Karol gives in-depth information on:

  • Where most nutritional programs fall short.
  • How to change your mindset about food, and how to develop a better relationship with what you eat.
  • Self-assessments to see where you need to make changes with the least effort to see the best results.
  • Simple recipes to help you eat healthy on the run, PLUS sample meal plans for different caloric intakes to get your diet on track right out of the gate.
  • A realistic gameplan you can use today to get the most out of your diet, while still having the flexibility to let you have a life.

Dean Somerset has quickly emerged as an outstanding resource in the fitness industry. I really enjoy reading his stuff, and I’m sure you will, too.

WHY YOU SHOULD CARE

Now that I’ve told you a little about this program, let’s talk a bit about some of the most common problems standing in the way of most people trying to achieve their goals in terms of physical ability and how they look.

PROBLEM #1: PROGRAMS DON’T TAKE YOUR ABILITIES AND WEAKNESSES INTO CONSIDERATION

Everyone moves differently. Viewing anatomical differences, there can be a wide range of different shapes, alignment, and orientations of the hip joint between different people. One person could have a hip joint that allows them to squat to the floor with ease while another person would have difficulty getting to even parallel. There’s even a potential difference between one person’s left and right hips! Some studies have shown individual differences to positioning by 10-20 degrees between left and right hips on a regular basis, meaning a single program given to everyone will only be beneficial for a small set of the population that qualifies for that specific workout.

SOLUTION: INDIVIDUALIZED PROGRAMS

The first part to beginning High Tensile Strength is a simple 5-minute self assessment to determine your movement profile. This helps to determine whether you would do best with movements that involve more of a flexion position or posture versus extension, and also whether you have a high degree of total body mobility or not. Essentially, if you have a ton of range of motion, there’s no point in having you do a lot of stretching. If anything, more stretching with a lot of mobility could actually create problems and pain.

PROBLEM #2: PROGRAM HOPPING

PROBLEM #3: THE PROGRAM DOESN’T ACCOMMODATE A BUSY LIFE

PROBLEM #4: PROGRAMS DESIGNED FOR ONLY MEN OR ONLY WOMEN

To do 6 months of online coaching with me directly will cost easily over $1000. You want to train with me in person for each and every workout? That will be well over $7,000. My witty personality drives up the cost significantly.

I’m not looking to make this a pricy venture that would limit who could take advantage of this program and have it change their lives. Because of this, you can get my best training with nearly unlimited variability to make the workouts entirely your own, for a mere fraction of the price I could charge for it.

Dean Somerset is one of my “go to” resources in the fitness industry when I have a question that requires awesomeness. I can say without a doubt or any hesitation that few have the knowledge around rehab, movement dysfunction, physiology, program design and training. Not only that, Dean has the priceless “under the bar” experience that many trainers are lacking to be able to actually apply this knowledge in a real-world setting and with real clients.

Tamara McGovern

Dean Somerset is an expert in his field and probably one of the most progressive personal trainers in Alberta, Canada. He expertly programmed for me throughout my first pregnancy and when the opportunity arose to test his new product I was excited to use his expertise to build up my fitness to where it had been.

I chose the Muscle Building aspect of the program and despite not adhering to a disciplined diet, I was able to shed a considerable amount of fat. In addition to fat loss I added 25lbs to my conventional deadlift, a PB from before my pregnancy. I did not think that I would ever be able to get back my strength after having a C Section, but thanks to High Tensile Strength I have regained, and even surpassed, everything that I thought I had lost for good!

But if you’re still not convinced, let me break it down further:

  • Has your current program managed to get you to where you wanted to be, in terms of strength, mobility, and appearance? If not, do you think doing more of the same will result in a bigger difference?
  • Do you feel great following your workouts, or beat up? If you feel beat up, does it feel like that beat up feeling is giving you progress and is necessary, or just you being sore and hating life as a result?
  • Is your current program so strict that you can’t take it with you on vacation or a work trip, or customize a workout around your abilities and troubles? Can you go out for a night on the town and not ruin the entire world?
  • Do you have an actual gameplan of where you want to be in 6 months or even 6 weeks from now in terms of your physical abilities and appearance? If not, do you think you’ll ever get there?
  • Are you stronger, fitter, and looking better than you were 6 months ago? If not, why do you want to stick to the same thing that’s not giving you the results you’re looking for?

High Tensile Strength will give you the customization you need, the versatility to take the workouts with you everywhere you want, and help you get the body you deserve, all while helping you to use that body in a wider appreciation than you thought possible, all without you having to devote your entire life to an unsustainable approach that crushes you and makes you not want to workout any more once it’s done.

When you have a gameplan to achieve your results, you’re going to be more likely to achieve them. I’ve taken all the guesswork out of programming so all you have to do is plug and play your specific workout, put in the work, and reap the rewards.

You have to want it. You have to put in the work. And you have to stay the course.

I want to help you do this. Let’s get going.

On the other hand…

  • Maybe you like the complacency of routine. At least you’re going to the gym, which is better than 90% of the population out there.
  • The aches and pains you experience are normal. Everyone gets them and they rarely get in your way, except when you want to do something out of the ordinary.
  • You prefer to just do what’s available in your workouts versus following a set plan. I’ve done that before. Sometimes a move-around workout is the best thing going. Sometimes, but only if you have a structured program to do the rest of the time.
  • Maybe you’re focusing on a specific sport or goal outcome and you have a program dedicated to that. This program wouldn’t be right for you, unless you wanted to move better in conjunction to doing your sport. I have had competitive athletes from 5 different sports do this program and all saw their in-competition performance improve, so maybe there’s something to say for it.

If any of these are you, that’s cool. You don’t need to read any further. Keep on keepin on. However…

Would you say any of these apply to you?

  • No program has ever felt like it’s set up specifically for you?
  • You’re tired of following workout programs designed for hardcore bodybuilders, the fluffy pink 3-lb dumbbell crowd, or your cousin’s friend who has their trainer certification but has never worked with a person other than themself?
  • You’re in “decent” shape but feel you have movement issues that keep popping up in sore back, knees, shoulders, and general feeling of being older than you are?
  • You want a workout you can take anywhere, do at any time, and with any equipment you have available, and STILL see the results you’re looking for?

Then you should give High Tensile Strength a shot and see what it can do for you. Remember, you have a guaranteed money back offer to make this a zero-risk venture if you’re not happy. If you think it’s too good to be true and my offer of improving your look, movement, and general feeling of awesomeness, you can call me out for it and get your money back.

When we surveyed attendees after the 2015 Fitness Summit, a substantial percentage listed Dean Somerset’s presentation on instant mobility as their favorite. That’s not faint praise. The consensus among repeat attendees is that we had the strongest lineup of speakers and best mix of presentations in the 13-year history of the Summit.

FAQs and SAQs (Should Ask Questions)

1. I HAVE AN INJURY. WILL THIS PROGRAM BE ONE I CAN DO?

A. I don’t know. Each injury is different so I can’t say whether yours will be impacted positively or negatively. That being said, there’s progressions and regressions to each exercise given, and what I would ask you to do is try it to the best of your pain-free ability. If it hurts, don’t do it. Get checked out by a doctor or a chiropractor or a physical therapist, maybe even a voodoo shaman, I won’t judge, but make sure this workout program isn’t going to cause you damage as you go through. There’s always risk going on with any physical activity program, so understand that before you get into the nitty gritty of it and realize the workouts weren’t beneficial for you. That being said, by picking a workout program that’s somewhat customized to your ability, you have a better chance of not causing pain with the movements.

2. WHAT IF I HAVE TO TRAVEL OR WON’T HAVE ACCESS TO MY NORMAL GYM FOR A WEEK’S VACATION OR WORK TRIP?

3. WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT?

4. CAN I ADD IN ANYTHING TO THE WORKOUTS?

5. SHOULD I BE TAKING ANY SUPPLEMENTS ON THIS PROGRAM? 


6. CAN I RE-ORGANIZE THE SETS OF EXERCISES IN CASE IT’S TOUGH FOR ME TO GET IN SOME OF THE SERIES AS LISTED FOR SPACE AND EQUIPMENT MEANS? 


7. I’M REALLY OUT OF SHAPE. WILL THIS PROGRAM WORK FOR ME?


8. (FEMALES ONLY) I HAVE REALLY BAD MENSTRUAL SYMPTOMS AROUND MY PERIOD. WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THIS? 


9. I’M FEELING PRETTY BEAT UP TODAY. DO I HAVE TO DO 9 SETS OF SQUATS AS YOU LISTED THEM OUT WITH THE SAME LOADS AND REP SCHEME OR CAN I DO LESS? 



10. WHAT IF SOME OF THE SINGLE LEG EXERCISES ARE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO ME HAVING A COMPLETE LACK OF ANY KIND OF BALANCE? 




11. SOME OF THE WORKOUTS ARE REALLY LONG AND IT’S HARD FOR ME TO DO THEM IN THE TIME I HAVE. WHAT SHOULD I DO? 




12. I HAVE AN OLD INJURY TO MY (INSERT BODY PART HERE). WILL THIS PROGRAM MAKE IT WORSE?
